Re: Satellite P200-1JR - S/PDIF OUT is stereo only

Hi.
I have Toshiba P200-1JR.
When I'm connecting laptop to receiver trough optical cable and trying to watch movies with AC3 5.1 sound, I'm getting only stereo sound.
1. Receiver is working correctly with PS3 and DVD player.
2. In S/PDIF options I have configuration with only 2 speakers.

3. I have the latest audio driver from Toshiba site.
Please help me to get AC3 5.1 sound trough optical cable.
Thanks.

Hi
Im not sure if you will be able to watch movies with AC 5.1 sound.
The point is that this notebook supports the Audio Format: 24bit (DAC, playback), 16bit (ADC, recording), stereo.
Furthermore it would be very interesting to know where you have found the S/PDIF jack. ?:|
In my knowledge this notebook supports only mic jack and headphone jack.
The headphone jack lets you connect _stereo_ headphones or other audio-output devices as external speakers. I didnt find any S/PDIF jacks.
I have connected my notebook to a hifi and in my case the HiFi equipment produces the 5.1 sound and not the notebooks sound card!

Satellite P200-1JR: Display suddenly gets blank only reboot helps.

Hi,
I have laptop Toshiba P200-1JR, and I'm satisfied by performances.
Unfortunately, I have experienced few problems for which I'm not sure if they are hardware (manufacture) or driver (software) problem.
1. Display sometimes (maybe once a week) suddenly gets blank. Nothing special wasn't done previously, which shpuld be the trigger. Just at once. Only reboot helps.
2. The same as 1, but previously dislplay just for few second gets crazy. Some side lines (like magnetic interrups) are on screen.
I've just downloaded bunch of driver updates (haven't applied them yet), but I want to ask before is this problem already known?
Best Regards,
Vladimir Stefanovic

I've applied most of the updates available on Toshiba site for this model, including BIOS update.
But the problem persists!
The screen started blinking uncontroled for about 15 seconds, then it become completely blank.
Then I've pressed Power button [Sleep mode], and again the same button [Wake from sleep], and the machine continued working normaly.
I'm not sure but I think that previously (before BIOS update) I had to restart the machine in order to get it work again.
I'm interested if anyone here had similar problem?
(I ask this because I want to know should I return it to salesman or should I wait for some update)

Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

Hi
I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
Thanks Ken.

Hello
It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
http://www.toshiba.ca
The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.

Satellite P200 (PSPB6A) - Heating Issue

I have recently setup my Toshiba Satellite P200 notebook as a Win-XP(SP 2) & Win-Vista Home Premium dual boot. I have also installed the SpeedFan utility to monitor component temperature on the system.
When booting with Win-Vista Home Premium, the CPU temperature is generally in the 50-55(degree Celsius) range. However, on booting with XP, the temperature shoots up to the 65-70(degree Celsius) range and a loud noise from the fan is heard.
Would someone be able to help me figure out as to what could be the problem with the installation?
Thanks
Arun

You are speaking about heating issue if then temperature increased to 65-70 degree celsius?
Hey buddy, such temperature is nothing unusual
The CPU temperature can increase up to 100 degree Celsius and this depends on the notebook usage
Furthermore you said that you have installed Win XP on this notebook
In this case you should check the Power Saver settings
In Basic Setup you could change CPU control method, CPU processing speed and cooling method these settings would affect the temperature and the cooling

Intel VT in the Bios of Satellite P200-13F disabled?

Hi,
I just bought a toshiba Satellite P200-13F and now I am finding out that the Vitrualization cannot be switched on in the BIOS.
Can anyone tell me if Toshiba is planning to release a BIOS with this feature supported? I want to use the machine for virtualization with XEN.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi people,
I think then toshiba hasnt implented it in the bios yet. Maybe the option is available because the bios images are maybe from a chipset manufacturer but they just didnt enabled it cause they had not implemented all VT routines in the bios to handle the VT-stuff of the Chipset/CPU.
This is just an really wild theory about VT in toshiba laptops and I dont know when they will do it and release a bios where you can enable it.

Installing devices under windows XP on Satellite P200-14H

Hi,
I have recently purchased Satellite P200-14H. It came with Vista home and since CAD software we use in our company doesn't work on it, we installed WXP on it. Everything works fine, we got the system almost fully functional, installed 99% of the drivers, but in device manager I still have 2 devices that are not installed:
1. PCI Memory Controller
2. Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
For PCI Memory Controller Ive tried just about everything and I think that ATI catalyst software doesn't recognize mobility radeon 2600 HD because of it (I get an error "no compatible hardware was found on your computer".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I need to send this laptop out on the field with a constructor next week, and it can't go like this...
Thank You

First of all the problem with the drives is easy finde out what chipset u have (32 or 64) (ICH8M_32bit or ICH7M_32bit for ex) and go to THIS PAGE download the drivers and u have a folder called F6flpy in wich are the drivers for atat
from here u have 2 options
1 u buy an usb floppy and u put the deriver on a disk and u instal them from here
2 u go to http://www.nliteos.com/download.html download the program which let's u put this drivers on to the windows kit and rewrite the new kit on to a cd disc (this is what i did)
I hope it help if not give me an email.

Satellite P200 - all Browsers Crashes after 5 to 20 mins

I am now losing the will to live with this laptop.
Satellite P200-13z with Vista 32bit
The issue is this... no matter what browser I use it will freeze and hang. Opera, IE and Firefox. Sometimes it will be good and work for 20 mins, sometimes it will crash in 5 mins.
I have updated my drivers, done clean re-installs of the OS, tested my RAM, shut down all but MS services, increased virtual memory, prayed to various germanic gods.
I have Avast and Zone Alarm running alone from Non MS services. I may shut them down and see what happens but not sure it will be the cause.
I am of the opinion it may be memory related and the way it is handled, possible aligned with Adobe Flash (spit). Maybe a Vista issue.
Uninstalling that curse (Flash) does not seem to fix the issue either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? 18 months I have been trying to fix this... and now I need the laptop fulltime it needs to be fixed.
It isn't an isolated problem either, google search 'all browser crash vista' to see what is happening out there, and a comple lack of knowledge or solution for this issue.
Many thanks in advance for some support.

Thanks Andrej
By crash, the browser locks up and freezes. I can close firefox for example, but am unable to restart it or kill the process.
I have seen it happen on Mozilla Filezilla and browsers only.
I should have done it while under warranty, but unable to do that now. I just assumed it was a flash issue and would have been fixed under a future update. Also due to the number of people getting the same issue problem, assumed it wasn't the laptop.
Would you know what kinda reports I would need to post so folk can see what is happening under the hood so to speak?

Re: How to reset Satellite P200-1FC upgraded to 7

Hi there,
Is it possible to reset my Satellite P200-1FC that came with Vista, with the product recovery disc if I have upgraded to windows 7?
The problem is incredibly slow internet connection where other laptops all work fine - is this likely to help anyway?
Many thanks

Hi Tilda,
Yes, its no problem to restore you notebook to factory settings with Toshiba recovery disk. This can be done every time and how often you want and matter what operating system is installed.
So insert the recovery disk and follow the screen instructions to get out of box settings back :)

Satellite P200-143 shut down issues

When I shut down my computer, while on the mains, the computer shuts down normally but a minute later, automatically restarts.
However, on battery it shuts down as it should.
I've checked my power settings, and they are all fine.
So I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do.
I have been shutting down by keeping the power button pressed, as it seems to be the only way.

I have a problem with my Satellite P200-144. Every time I plug it into the mains, it lasts about twenty minutes, and then cuts out. The time period is always the same, and it only ever happens when plugged into the mains, it will quite happily run on the battery until it runs dry.

Satellite P200- Power Saver in XP not working

Hello,
I have decided to make another thread so that more questions can be answered. Right so I installed Power Saver Driver and then a reboot and then I install Power Saver but when I try to access it from Control Panel I get a message saying "CANNOT open because you do not have access right to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver". Now when I go to the SYs32 directory and look for Toshiba Power Saver related files I find a file called TPSBattM and when I try to run that I get a "A Fatal error has occurred, Code: 0x2".
I have tried re-installing and removing but it still isnt working. Does anybody have a fix for this since this problem has been bugging me on older laptop ever since and TOSHIBA still haven't sorted it out.
I can't seem to find the Common Modules for the Satellite P200-144. If somebody could find them then it should start working again.
Thanks and please somebody try to help me.

Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) - Fingerprint and webcam don't work on Windows 7

I am using a Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) and have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
However the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility and Chicony Web Camera Assistant Software both don't work. I have checked and there are no new updates on the Australian website.
Can you please help me out with these two issues?

Hi Boarder
Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried the Vista drivers and the US Toshiba page, unfortunatley neither work.
I went to the Upek website for the bio finger print software which is two fold over the latest version supported by Toshiba for Vista. I'll wait to see if Toshiba bring out a version for Win7 as the one I downloaded is limited, otherwise I am happy to pay approx $15 for the full version.
I really need the webcam to function though. I think the driver is ok, just need the sofware to run the inbuilt camera.
Cheers

Re: Satellite P200 PsPB3C-BB808C Cannot locate *Multimedia Controller*

I have just upgraded my neighbours' Toshiba Laptop to Win 7 after a bad Vista crash.
It is a Satellite P200 -BB808C.
When I started there were two drivers missing, the Mass Storage Controller and a Multimedia Controller. I did a clean install, starting with formatting the drive.
Windows 7 loaded A-OK and all Toshiba drivers were installed following the recommended sequence. I was able to locate the driver for the Mass Storage controller but as yet cannot find anything for the Multimedia Controller.
I have been alternating between the Canadian and USA site with no luck.
I have also spent a lot of time Googling different variations of the same question, trying to locate some info on this driver. It seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
So far the system is performing very well with no glitches or hang-ups.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Yes I have checked that out already.
There are no details given in the device manager for this item. There is a code 28 for this driver and an exclamation mark by the controller name.
It gives the location as PCI Bus 6, device 0, function 0.
The driver, details and resources tabs are all empty, no details whatsoever.
I was wondering, perhaps I should try re-installing all the drivers, etc.
Your thoughts.

HDD and memory upgrade on Satellite P200-17C

Hi there
I own Satellite P200 17c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2gb. I would like to upgrade it to DDR2 PC2-6400 4gb ram. Can i do that and is there going to be some improvement of the speed if I upgrade to PC2-6400 instead PC2-5300?
On my P200 17c I have 2 HDDs. 2x100gb. I would like to upgrade one of those two HD from 100gb to 320gb 5400 rpm. Can i do that? and is it going to be some difference if I upgrade with HD that has 7200 rpm?
Thank you

First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum RAM capacity of 4GB but please be aware that you wont be able to use the full 4GB due to some chipset limitations which are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
Regarding the module speed: the chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not enhance your speed when installing faster modules.
If you would like to upgrade your harddisk then just do it like you want, because there shouldnt be any limitations, you can install a drive with 7200rpm together with a slower one.
The only difference will be that the faster drive will be faster. The whole system performance would only raise when youre installing your OS on the faster drive (which is recommendation from my side :) )

Satellite P200-17C: graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish

Hi all
I've just bought a Satellite P200-17c.
I've set up my dual boot with Vista and XP (that was REALLLLY hard) everything seems to be almost OK, but..... The graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish, when you scroll a window in a browser it seems to 'refresh' in blocks - it's not moving right. If I go to device manager under other devices there are two things for which there is no driver install, one says: VGA controller, the other says: unknown device!
It's true that I haven't istalled the ATI drivers yet.... But that's because the only place I can find to get them for XP is from the Toshiba support area, the file is 162MB (not that big) but it is downloading at such a slow pace even though I have a fast connection, I don't even know if it will work?!
I've tried some things from the ATI site directly, althought I was trying to install the drivers for the ATI HD2400 graphics card that the machine has, on installation it said it couldn't continue as there wasn't any compatable hardware connected.....
My download from the Toshiba area has already gone wrong once, meaning I have to re-start it.
Does any one have any light they can shine on this issue. If any one has the driver downloaded already and fancies sticking on mega upload or something, that'll be fun???!!!!!
Ideas suggestion welcome!

Hi
I was very curious about driver offered on Toshiba support page. You are right about file. It is about 160 MB and I have needed 20 minutes for download but download was successfully and I do not see any problem that you can not do the same.
Extract the file and just use setup.exe to start driver installation.
